Price Variant Club

32 32

Living in SA leads to some good finds .......

 

Where's that Chamber of Chills ? ; )

Tucked away.......

 

I've been through entire comic stores backstocks in test markets before people knew what they were (Memphis, San Jose, Wilmington)

I can tell you from experience you missed 2 test markets. Found most of mine in road trips out of state to places you apparently aren't checking.

 

I've been to all six.

Isn't this sweet. Someone trying to tell Dan about price variants. :doh:

I tell Dan about price variants all the time, a little something like, "Dan find me some price variants."

As it should be. :thumbsup:

Nu-Uh, ... I loved me some 9.6's too even though I searched for 9.8s.

I've told this story a few times, but here is how I became a price variant collector.

 

Around 2004, maybe 2005 I finished a BA RAW run in High Grade and I posted the books here. Not too many of us on the boards then, we were pretty much on a first name basis, most ppl had run into each other in person and were friends ... or not . Anyway I post my run, greggy probably makes some comment about them not being 100 pagers, bronzebruce applauds, though secretly thinks those are 9.6 copies and I poop on those. No matter, it was a certain flying circular ChiTown transplanted to Maryland who uttered a very simple phrase, 'including the Variants?' It was like a splinter entered my mind, Variants? Who gave a flying about the Variants? As the days went on, I did, that's who. The OCD comic geek in me went into over drive. My perfectly respectable Amazing Adventures run, an 11 in Raw 9.4/9.6 for sakes. And the Variants? It played over and over, NO I DIDN'T HAVE THE VARIANTS ....... YET. Anyway I got the Amazing Adventures Variants and a whole lot more.

 

So this mini BA run is dedicated to the Flying one, ya dude, got the Variants. Thanks for listing the 132 a few years back.
